Senior Software Engineer

YipitData is a market research and analytics firm that uses proprietary technology and alternative data to deliver strategic intelligence to investment funds and Fortune 500 companies. The Senior Software Engineer will own production-grade features and systems across multiple product surfaces, working across the full stack and infrastructure. The role also involves driving cross-team initiatives, partnering with stakeholders, and using AI coding tools to improve development velocity and quality.

Responsibilities:

• Own features and systems end-to-end across multiple product surfaces — architecture, implementation, deployment, and iteration
• Design systems that are clean, maintainable, and built to scale — you know how software should be structured
• Work directly with stakeholders across engineering, product, data, revenue, and customers to translate business problems into shipped software
• Drive initiatives across teams — you're not waiting for a PM to write a spec; you're in the room shaping what gets built and why
• Use AI tools (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex) as a daily force multiplier — for implementation, code review, testing, documentation, and exploration
• Operate across the full stack: backend services, frontend applications, data pipelines, and infrastructure
• Make pragmatic technical decisions that balance speed, quality, and maintainability in a fast-moving environment
• Raise the bar for the engineering team through code quality, tooling improvements, and knowledge sharing

Requirements:

• You have 4+ years of hands-on software development experience with a proven track record of shipping customer-facing applications — and the impact to show for it
• You are stack-flexible: comfortable working across Python, TypeScript/React, and cloud infrastructure (AWS, Databricks). You learn new tools fast and don't let unfamiliar tech slow you down
• You have an AI-accelerated workflow — you actively use AI coding tools to ship faster, not as an experiment, but as how you work every day
• You thrive in ambiguity — you can take a vague business problem, break it down, and deliver a working solution without heavy-handed direction
• You are a strong communicator who can work directly with non-technical stakeholders, translate between business needs and engineering tradeoffs, and drive alignment
• You are responsive and reliable — you take ownership of production systems and communicate proactively, especially under pressure
• You have a bias toward action and ownership — you see a problem, you fix it; you see an opportunity, you ship it
• You hold a Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, STEM, or a related technical discipline
